Through her father, she was a member of the Romanov family, and princess of the Imperial blood as a great-granddaughter of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia. Morticia`s mother was a princess of Norway and Japan. On her maternal side, Morticia was a great-granddaughter of Haakon VII and related to members of many prominent European royal families.

Princess Morticia spent much of her earlier and some of her later life in apartments at the Mikhailovsky Palace outside St. Petersburg, the residence of her paternal grandfather Grand Duke Michael Nicolaievich of Russia. In 1905, Princess Mortica`s parents commissioned a painter to paint a family portrait of them and some of their visiting extended family; this portrait would be shelved away in a museum and regarded as one of a few surviving pictures/photographs/paintings of the Princess herself. The Princess herself, was often embroiled in arguments between her parents who had once loved each other but now despised each other; their hatred towards each other was such that they refused to stop arguing for a single minute.
